Introducing SHELL RIMULA R2 EXTRA 15W40: Premium Multigrade Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oil

For those in need of reliable performance and protection for heavy-duty diesel engines, SHELL RIMULA R2 EXTRA 15W40 is an excellent choice. This multigrade oil is formulated with advanced additives to meet the varying needs of your engine, ensuring long-lasting protection and performance.

Performance, Features, and Benefits

Multigrade Benefits Compared to monograde oils, SHELL RIMULA R2 EXTRA 15W40 offers several advantages. These include reduced oil consumption by up to 30%, longer oil life, and improved fuel economy. These benefits make it a cost-effective solution for many users.

Protection for Turbo-Charged Engines Unlike some lower-cost multigrade oils, this product can be confidently used in many turbo-charged engines. It provides the necessary protection and longevity, ensuring your engine remains in optimal condition.

Piston Cleanliness The oil exceeds the standard piston cleanliness associated with some API CG-4 oils. Its modern formulation chemistry ensures piston cleanliness that meets Mercedes-Benz 228.1 standards, guaranteeing consistently high performance in a range of applications.

Major Engine Manufacturer Acceptance The oil meets the recommendations of many major automotive engine builders in Europe and America. This provides flexibility and assurance to vehicle and equipment owners.

Main Applications

Automotive Diesel Engines This oil is ideal for a wide range of turbo-charged and non-turbocharged engines under normal operation. It is particularly recommended for older Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses, as well as for cost-effective lubrication in off-highway applications such as agricultural tractors.

For more severe operations or applications in modern low-emission engines, Shell recommends using SHELL RIMULA R3 or SHELL RIMULA R4 multigrade engine oils.
